In the vertebrate body, blood vessel (vascular) network and neural network enable elaborate physiological functions. These two major networks interact each other (called “neuro-vascular wiring”). We aimed at promoting the activities of the group research to understand the mechanisms by which the neuro-vascular wiring is established with a particular focus on cellular dynamism and molecular signaling. We promoted: 1) efficient management of the research group, 2) inter-disciplinary researches between neuro- and vascular biology, 3) international visualization of our research, 4) support for young investigators' career, and 4) improvement of the group management based on external evaluation.
